| I'm sorry but just what the fuck was that? Sugu and Kirito fight and all of a sudden it turns into an embrace? Cheesy. Rofl so lame! Recon's episode to prove he's worthy of being Sugu's friend (and possible lover). Dat Super-Saiyan look. Ok WTF lol so he has a super-powerful skill for his dual-wielding sword. Wow.. Nice. He broke through with the code. Hopefully we get to see Asuna next episode. No, definitely we have to. |
  |
| Good episode, Anyway, what kinda dual-sword skill was that!!!! Using only his speed to make sth. like Drilling Tornado and breakthrough!! No one would stand a chance if he can use that move at will!! That move wasn't in the LN, was it?? Next time, Kicking Oberon's ass!!! |

| I'm glad Kirito needed the help of the Cait Sith and dragoons or whatever they're called. Makes him slightly less OP. |

| This episode did NOT make sense to me. While watching this, I found myself yelling at my comp screen! Okay, the first issue I had with this episode was the whole cavalry coming to support Lyfa and Kirito. Really? These people just popped out of nowhere, for goodness sake's! YOU CANNOT DO THAT! THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! Maybe if like, oh I don't know, Recon's sacrifice was a portal or something that would allow the cavalry to appear, then yes, I would not have any issues. BUT YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT!!! Another issue I had was when Lyfa tossed Kirito her sword. Woman, you are giving away your weapon for self-defense! You are practically making yourself an open target! How are you going to fight against all those enemies with no sword, huh? And I don't know about you guys, but this episode felt really short to me. Sigh... but don't get me wrong, I still like this anime. The way this episode was handled just didn't fit my style. |

Sigh... but don't get me wrong, I still like this anime. The way this episode was handled just didn't fit my style. 1) Why can't the calvary come in? Yea it's a bit convenient but there's nothing in the quest that says new parties can't come in if there's already another party inside trying the challenge 2) The point was that the most important thing was for Kirito to get through the monsters, not her own self-defense. Also lawl at everyone bitching and moaning- I think the anime adaptation has been done phenomenally well. This episode was amazing, can't wait for the next one. |

| Bad episode, really.. everything is getting lame and ridiculos and character actions are questionable. Sugu suddenly shaking off her sorrow is more than weird, everyone is happy and dancing in the end and Recon coming to help only to die in few moments is boring and lame (and implications of Leafa x Recon relationship feels very off when she was just thinking about her brother few moments ago..) Why oh why everything have to be so cool everytime? Army of allies suddenly comes, yay! And also - unstoppable Kirito, repeating again and again, it isn't believable now. He is like deus ex machina all over again. |
| Quite satisfied with that episode. The battle between Kirito and Sugu was a fucking joke, this was so awful.. anyone agree? But at least the guard fight this time was awesome. 2 more episodes to go, I wonder what is going to happen when Kirito finally meets Asuna again. 25 Episodes.. why not more? If they got more episodes to to I'd wouldn't have torn to that crap it has become... |

Music was great as usual I just felt sad for Recon though, since when he confessed all he got was a punch. Just don't forget that recon tried to kiss her by force ,he deserved the punch It would be so good after the emotional train he made Suguha take due to his incapable social skill mainly cause of his incapacity to improve himself efficiently enough and on time. |
| I cant help but laugh at all this posts about Giga Drill,Dual Drill and "Kirito OP new skill" etc. And I cant even blame them.Thank you A-1.Now Fuck You. |

| I don't see why people are so perplexed about a new skill he acquired. It's a MMORPG for christ sakes lol (never played one?) If you want a REAL plot hole then watch episode 14. The miraculous resurrection of Kirito after he lost the duel to Kayaba and Asuna breaking a paralysis status effect with sheer will power lmao........ |

| That must've been the 1000000th time I've heard the main theme. |
ssjokg said: Limechan said: Last ep is titled World Seed.If you read the LN you know what that means right?Loved this episode. 2 to go, I can't believe it. It's pretty obvious they'll do a 2nd season, anyway. Also, by the looks of it, I guess we won't see more of Silica and Liz this season. They COULD animate the part where they show up after rescuing Asuna, but I doubt that will happen. Ooooooooooooh, I did not know that! In that case, I'm speculating all the last battle and such wil happen in the next episode, and last episode will be the "epilogue" of the first part of SAO. It should end the anime pretty well, then. I'm merely speculating, though. |

| Kirito vs Suguha was... Well, I stopped caring anyway. Wtf was up with that new skill Kirito acquired using Sugu's katana? He was supposed to be Dual-wielding his way to the top -_- Way to go, A-1. Overall, Not-so-bad ep. |
| boring, the good part is only when they're hugging and when yui says that the door was not intended to be opened and the enemies starts coming again (so tense) and i already thought that kirito will come up with a new skill (it would be much better if he's drilling together with sugu) hahaha the previous ep was much better |

Lol the dude blowing himself up was hilarious as hell to, obviously it wasn't supposed to come off as funny but it was so random I thought. Oh god then the Deus Ex Machina moment just wow! Also do those dragons have flying limits as well? I'm surprised no one used one to fly to the top haha. Man I thought the show was just below average before but damn ever since the switch to ALO it just kept getting progressively worse. hahaha yeahh, that idiot blowing himself,i would love having him as my teammate |

DarthAbysius said: No it's for real. I though Kirito was damn lame at the end but it's pointless to argue on this point as I still stand by my view of Kirito.

Uhh, I'm having a hard time telling if that is sarcasm. Based on your last line I think it is, but just in case.... It's hardly HIS fault she fell in love with him... twice. All he did was be nice to her, it's not like he was trying anything on her. I mean, I guess he is the CAUSE of her emotional roller coaster, but it isn't his FAULT. He came back from SAO, and was nice to her. She fell in love with him, but it's not like he went for that reaction or anything. He was nice to her as Lyfa too, but again it's not like he was flirting or anything trying to get her attention. But let me put it simply, saying to someone sorry in the state they are even though one is a weak one from their ordeal of near life/death IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BY ME! The only acceptable thing is acknowledgement and that I am cool with when Kirito hugs Suguha and realizes his mistakes. But yeah no you don't say to someone in that state SORRY! You hug them and comfort them all the time.

The next convention of comics to come. |
| So Kirito ended up getting back up from two tribes.

Elite60 said: I will say that the visuals were pretty nice to look at during the battle. Dat face Kirito makes when he combines both swords together and charges forward... Agreed it was pretty cool :) |
| 'The completion of this quest was never meant to be possible. However, with your skill stats, it may be possible for you to break through with speed' I loled. |
| How come whenever I like an episode of SAO everyone else hates it |

| UTW SUBS ARE UP YEEEEEOW |
| This episode was great better than last week. I think the Sugu and Kirito fight was kinda cheese but I guess the whole thing was about them bonding together. And the final push in the second half was amazing with the dragons and fairies the BGM was pretty epic too. |

iShiney said: Confused - why weren't there any archer-guardians, and how did he torpedo by holding 2 swords above his head? 1st point, i dunno 2nd point, laziness of the animators that didn't want to show him actually slashing his swords in a circular motion, so they went giga drill breaker |
| A-1 $%$%!@#! No seriously? |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
